St. Marks Episcopal Church, Pinewood, South Carolina

St. Mark's Parish was established in 1767 by an Act of the South Carolina Assembly. The church was built during the same year near Summerton, however, was burned by the British during the American Revolution. It was the parish church for several family planations, viz: Manning, Millford, Richardson and Bloomhill. At least six governors regularly attended servies here. The present church (above) was constructed in 1855, which makes it to fourth or fifth church erected by the parish at this location.
